bingo the psych-o:I don't get Donald Trump. He doesn't seem to enjoy doing business like Warren Buffet, or have fun with his money like Richard Branson. He always comes across as a miserable, middle-manager type.

Howie Spankowitz:As a nonprofit professional for nearly 25 years who has put blood, sweat and tears into raising money to help people, this bullshiat is getting old. Obscenely wealthy people casually throwing these "challenges" around is offensive. Do you know how hard it is to raise $1 million? $5 million? And these guys could afford to give that much on a whim and never miss it.

But any fundraiser will tell you about the unreasonable hoops the mega-wealthy make people like me jump through to get the crumbs off their table so we can help some people in need. How entitled they feel to tell you exactly how to spend their money, even though they have no clue how to be effective in providing services. The unreasonable and lavish donor benefits they demand for what amounts to a pittance of a gift when compared with their massive wealth.

Most guys* do not realize the liberation that a shaved head can bring. It increases the effectiveness of air conditioning and conversely opens up a wide range of awesome hats that can be used to accessorize your ensemble; It can aid in acquiring affection from your gender of choice; and unless you have an most unfortunately shaped head, usually looks much less ridiculous than that thing that currently lives atop of The Donald's pate.

*I have also noticed a growing number of women embracing the joys of a liberated scalp!

Why didn't Obama take Trump up on his offer? If someone offered to donate 5 million to a charity in exchange for copies of every document and piece of paper that bore my name since the day I was born I would gladly do it, and I suspect so would everyone else. I just don't understand why the Obama administration didn't jump on this, if only to get that blowhard Trump to shut up and pay up.

jake_lex:I've seen people say "Why didn't Obama just release his records and take Trump's money?", but I think Obama played this just right. You can't respond to a blatant blackmail attempt like this, and, besides, he knew as well as anyone that Trump would have responded by finding something wrong with the records he released and demanded more. Trump never had any intention to actually pay out that money. This is all about a long carny act to distract from the fact that his company got fired as the management of his signature property. He needs to go away as quickly as possible.

I'd tell him if he wants to donate the money, donate it. If he doesn't, then don't. Don't try to put it on me.
